Welcome to our May 2025 framework agreement update.
Our First Provider Selection Regime (PSR) Framework Agreement
Our first framework agreement awarded under PSR, ‘Mental Health, Learning Disability and Autism: Assessment and Diagnosis, NHS Talking Therapies and Crisis Services’, launched last month.
When procuring health care services or completing mixed procurements where the main element is health care services, relevant authorities, including NHS England, Integrated Care Boards (ICBs), NHS Trusts, NHS Foundation Trusts, local authorities and combined authorities, must use PSR regulations.
This framework agreement has been designed to help you to meet the National NHS objectives for 2024/25, which include increasing the number of people accessing transformed models of adult community mental health to 400,000, perinatal mental health to 66,000 and children and young people services to 345,000.
Find out how it can reduce waiting times and increase capacity through an outsourced model here.

Cutting Energy Bills for Hospitals and Schools
The UK government and Great British Energy are investing £200 million on solar panels and renewable schemes to support schools and hospitals to save money on energy bills and achieve net zero.
If you have received this funding, our Decarbonisation of Estates Framework Agreement can fulfil the supply and installation of solar panels and create renewable schemes via Lot 1 – Decarbonisation of non-domestic / public properties.
Rooftop solar panels can power schools and hospitals, plus any leftover energy can be sold back to the grid. Estimates suggest that on average, schools could save up to £25,000 each year, and for a typical NHS site, this increases to up to £45,000. Find out more here.
